4 Month Check-Up

We just got back from the doctor's office and since the babies are sleeping I thought I would take a minute to get this done now. Both babies are growing great and healthy, nothing really to report except weight and height. Miss Aubrey, (shown here before the doctor came in) weighs in at 14lbs and 7oz and is 24 1/2 inches long. She is in the 50-75% ...they didn't give me an exact number this time, just a range...I am a little disappointed. But she is great and took her shots like a champ. It was a little bit sad actually, she fell asleep with me holding her waiting for the nurse to bring in the shots and woke up to a needle getting jabbed in her leg...poor baby! I bet she won't fall asleep there again! :)

Mr. Spencer weighs in at 14lbs 11oz and is 24 3/4inches long...he is finally bigger than his sister again! He fell behind by a couple ounces over the last couple months, but is finally pulling ahead again. It helps that he is keeping his formula down better, and he is a pro at eating cereal now...(she could care less and spits out about half of what I am trying to shovel in!) He is also healthy and in the same 50-75% range for boys. He took his shots like a trooper, even though I forgot to bring his pacifier...bad Mommy! I am so used to him having one in his mouth that I didn't really check when I moved him from the swing to the car seat and it was laying in the swing when we got home.

He managed to settle down without it though and they both fell asleep in the car on the way home. (see below) Hopefully they won't get too fussy today and get good sleep tonight...we shall see!

Our first trip to Klamath Falls

We were brave enough to try a trip down to Klamath Falls to visit Mom and Dad. The babies actually did a good job travelling in the car. They even slept through the night both nights, which was a nice surprise! We discovered that it wasn't as hard as we thought it would be to take them on an overnight journey, so we will probably be going to visit them more often.

This is my best friend from high school Christina's Mom, Michelle.

Here is where the nap started...worked on Dean too!

This is my new great-niece Brailey. She is just under a month younger than the twins. It was our first time seeing her...she is very cute! I hope to go down there to see her enough that she is close to our little ones as they grow up together.

The weather was so nice down in Klamath Falls we had a BBQ on Saturday night and when the sun went behind the house and we had some shade, we put them all on a blanket and let them hang out.

Happy Mother's Day...Late

I had a wonderful 1st Mother's Day...relaxing and lots of time with friends and family. Here are some of the pictures of the weekend. For my gift, Dean took the kids to Create A Memory and made me a bowl with thier hand and footprints inside. He said he had a great time and wants to do it again!

Here are pictures of the babies room with the new paint and the border up. It is hard to see, but there is 2 pink walls and 2 blue walls. It turned out so cute...thanks Aunt Geri for the suggestion! I love the way it looks!! They love their new rooms too, they lay in the bed and stare up at their names...very cute.

I went in the other morning to check on the babies and found Aubrey completely turned around in her crib. We put them on the sleep positioners and she scooted off hers and flipped around in the bed...crazy girl! :)

Spencer was the first one to try to roll over. I put him at the farm and then went into the kitchen to get the bottles ready and when I came back in he was on his side! He didn't make it all the way over but he is starting! She as done it too, but I haven't caught it on camera yet.
